Let's face it. We all make excuses to get out of something every once and a while. Sometimes when you are on the spot and have to think of something fast, those excuses might come out a bit odd or just flat out unbelievable. I decided to do some research and see what are some of the most bazaar excuses people have used. I came across pages and pages of excuses and some of them I thought were absolutely crazy and others I felt like I should write down for later. These are some of the most craziest/hilarious excuses people have used that I have found.

1. "I promised to help Ashley clean the toilet at the same time. She doesn't like doing it alone; she gets nervous that she will fall in! Some kind of toilet phobia(a weird name I can't remember for some reason...)"

2. "I do not usually go out on days that end with the letters "day". Sorry, personal preference."

3. "My hamster needs a good washing! He was playing with the pigs in the mud today. Stupid hamster!"

4. "I have to go to the post office to see if I am still wanted."

5. "I made an appointment with my eyebrow specialist."

6. "Bob was late for school today because his little brother replaced the milk in their cereal to Crazy Glue and Bob’s mouth stuck together and we needed to melt the glue."

7. “I have a bit of a slight problem. I got the end of a Q-tip stuck in my ear and have to go to the ER to get it removed.”

8. "Sorry, I can't get in, I'm stuck under the bed."

9. "I poked myself in the eye while combing my hair."

10. "I tripped over my dog and was knocked unconscious."

11. "I forgot to come back to work after lunch."

12. "I had to ship my grandmother's bones to India."

13. "My cat has the hiccups."

14. "I had to chase my cows back into the field."

15. "A Vaseline truck crashed on the highway and cars were sliding all over the place."

16. "I’m stuck in the blood pressure machine at the grocery store."

17. "My feet and legs fell asleep when I was sitting in the bathroom and when I stood up I broke my ankle."

18. "I just put a casserole in the oven."

19. "I put my uniform in the microwave to dry it and it caught on fire."

20. "My false teeth flew out of the window while I was driving on the highway."

The last excuse on this list was my favorite. After researching and finding all of these, I think I may use some of them once or twice (maybe). But to keep it real, you should just be honest with the person. It won't be as stressful then trying to figure out an excuse like the ones in the list and sound crazy. I know you all have made an excuse for something at least once in your life. Tell me what the worst excuse you have ever given was! Mine was in this list..darn comb.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
